I have arthritis in my knee, and am old enough now that all the other joints creak, too. I have a number of chronic conditions, so I know what it's like to try to fight through that to get motivated to exercise. I'd be happy to be one of your support buddies.

Even better the second day!

I can't do oats, but I use leftover quinoa the same way. If you add some Greek yogurt, it thickens up nicely.

I made quinoa in my Instant Pot today to add to my salads this week. Fast and easy. 8 minutes on manual, quick release at the beep.

Hello Riffraft!

I suffered for years from fatigue. Turned out to be a sleeping disorder. Now properly medicated, I'm like a completely new person. Does your fitness tracker show you how your sleep is?

I think you'll love it!

If you're still around, I love fermented foods. Just started in May.

If anyone is still here, I'm in Gilbert. I work out at home.

I give a book 75 pages. If it hasn't grabbed me by then, goodbye! Life is too short to waste on bad books!

Currently re-reading the Chronicles of Amber, a 10 book series by Roger Zelazney. Absolutely love this series.

I just made some watermelon sorbet. 55 calories per serving and so delicious. I'm going to post it in the Recipe Swap group.

I hear you on that for sure! Start gently!

I do them in bed because if I get down on the floor, I'm not getting back up. LOL Not ideal, but better than nothing.

Has a physical therapist taught you how to gently stretch the piriformis? I ask as a retired PT and as a person with chronic piriformis spasm. The stretches really help.

Change it up again. Used 2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar and 2 tsp of baking soda instead of the flax seed. Really made a big difference in the texture of the muffins. You wouldn't know they were gluten-free!

I have the Instant Pot. I got it to replace an older one that only did pressure/rice. Love making yogurt in it. And popcorn!

There is a Facebook group for Indian cooking in the Instant Pot. They have a Google Doc with all the recipes that have been shared there at: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1jdF7dlYNa7bo0slQy5U0qY8cSyv8NuvljZwvVc3Id1w/edit

I made a pot roast in mine tonight. Just rubbed with spices. I mostly make those to turn around and use it for curry the next night.

Hi Abby! I have OA in one knee from an old injury. Now I'm old enough that I'm starting to feel it other places, too. Great job on the weight loss! You are rocking it!

Did you try them? So yummy!

You're most welcome! I hope you enjoy them.

I clip into Evernote.

GoMacro Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip. Yum!

Thanks for the information on the Happy Scale app. I'm going to try that!

I made this last night. Really tasty! http://www.freshfromflorida.com/Recipes/Entrees/Quinoa-and-Arugula-Pilaf

I'm writing fantasy. One is for children, the other for adults. I have more hope for the one for kids right now.

My goals beside weight loss: 1. Finish the 2 books I'm writing 2. Brush up on Spanish 3. Organize my house

I love my Instant Pot for homemade yogurt. I also make curry in my Instant Pot, but I don't use a recipe. I also made this chicken recipe using the Meat setting rather than following the directions included in the recipe.
